Before You Install

What You Need

An active Shopify store
Admin access to install apps
A few minutes to complete setup

What to Expect

Product Options integrates seamlessly with your store. The app won't make any changes to your existing products until you're ready.

Installation Steps

Step 1: Install from Shopify App Store

Visit the Product Options listing in the Shopify App Store
Click the Add app button
Review the permissions the app needs
Click Install app

Step 2: Authorize the App

Product Options needs these permissions to work:

Read and write products - To add options to your product pages
Read orders - To show you which options customers selected
Read store data - To display your products and collections

Click Install to authorize these permissions.

Step 3: Enable the App Embed

After installation, you'll need to enable the app in your theme:

Go to Online Store → Themes in your Shopify admin
Click Customize on your active theme
In the theme editor, click the App embeds icon (puzzle piece) in the left sidebar
Find Product Options in the list
Toggle it to Enabled
Click Save

Why is this needed? The app embed allows Product Options to display on your product pages without modifying your theme code.

After Installation

Troubleshooting Installation

"App won't install" Error

Solution: Make sure you're logged in as a staff member with full admin permissions. Only store owners and staff with app installation permissions can add apps.

Options Don't Appear on Product Pages

Solution: Check that the app embed is enabled in your theme settings (see Step 3 above).

"Permission Denied" Message

Solution: The app needs specific permissions to function. If you denied permissions during installation, you'll need to uninstall and reinstall the app, accepting all permissions.
